Abstract

The combustion chamber of the ramjet is mounted on a support which allows partial freedom of longitudinal movement. A nozzle is arranged at the intake of the combustion chamber, with a flexible, fluid-filled bladder being disposed between the nozzle and the combustion chamber. Air is blown into the combustion chamber through the nozzle, and fuel is fed into the combustion chamber to achieve combustion. The pressure of the fluid in the bladder is measured.
